I decided to finish up this class sample...
It's for a Permission 2 Play class July 26th...
I quilted the background with metallic thread...
It adds a little sparkle to the all blue fabric
I cut up a large floral fabric for the
coral at the bottom of the ocean
I found a flesh color fabric for the mermaid body
and a shiny fabric for her tail...
Her skin looks too bland...
I painted her skin with metallic paint...
much better
I finished it off with
Added hanging triangles on back
and a label

I just love your work, so many ideas there I want to try out!!!!! That mermaid quilt is just gorgeous (for a while now I have been planning a Great Barrier Reef Quilt, so especially interested in your underwater theme :-)). First time I have noted your hanging triangles, they look like a great idea (esp. as I'm not into handstitching hanging sleeves lol). Any tips and tricks for these? xo
